Culinary Clothing Contract

The Granite School District Purchasing Department issued Request for Quote (RFQ) No. JS20-008RFQ for a culinary clothing contract, seeking competitive quotes from qualified vendors to provide specialized culinary apparel. The procurement involves approximately 75 individual clothing items, including female and male chef coats in white and black colors (sizes XS-XXL), chef pants, beanies, and aprons. Specific product requirements mandate relaxed fit, double-breasted coats with cotton/poly blend fabric, thermometer pockets, embroidered logos, and personalized name lines. The solicitation targeted specific Chef Works product models (BCW004, WCCW, BAST, NBBP, BNWH, APKDC) or equivalent alternatives, with commodity codes spanning clothing, medical apparel, and personal safety equipment (53100, 42130, 46180). The RFQ was open from July 18, 2019, at 3:30 AM MDT to July 26, 2019, at 12:00 AM MDT, with a one-time digitization fee included in the contract scope. Pricing was to be submitted in US Dollars, with ChefWorks ultimately being awarded the contract.

The procurement documentation does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. No clear information was provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or specific vendor qualifications beyond the ability to meet the detailed product specifications. The document does not outline a comprehensive budget range or precise award value, though the total volume suggests a relatively modest procurement of approximately 75 clothing items. No incumbent vendors beyond ChefWorks were mentioned, and there were no indications of complex technological integration requirements. The commodity codes suggest this is a straightforward procurement of standard culinary professional attire, with an emphasis on specific design and branding requirements. The solicitation appears targeted specifically at uniform and apparel providers with experience in commercial culinary workplace clothing.
